A system and method for displaying traffic targets in a conformal perspective view. The system comprises a display screen for graphical display of data, one or more sensors for obtaining traffic data regarding traffic targets, and one or more processors for receiving traffic data from the one or more sensors and providing input to the display screen. The display screen displays traffic targets as icons in a 3-dimensional graphical representation of real space. The display size of the icons is selected from a finite set of sizes which correspond to a finite set of distance ranges based on the distance to the traffic targets.

What is claimed is: 1. A display system comprising: a display screen for graphical display of data, one or more sensors for obtaining traffic data regarding traffic targets, one or more processors for receiving traffic data from the one or more sensors, and for providing input to the display screen, and the display screen displaying traffic targets as icons in a 3-dimensional graphical representation of real space, wherein the display size of the icons is selected from a finite set of sizes which correspond to a finite set of distance ranges based on the distance to the traffic targets, the set of distance ranges comprises one range, and the set of sizes comprises continuous size variations corresponding to distances within the one range, the size variations being bounded by a maximum and a minimum icon size. 2. The display system of claim 1 wherein, the one or more processors filters traffic data such that data is not provided to the display screen concerning traffic targets which do not pose a threat. 3. The display system of claim 1 wherein, the one or more processors are adapted to receive a user input to select between an egocentric and an exocentric view of the 3-dimensional graphical representation of real space. 4. The display system of claim 1 wherein, the display screen renders an indexing line for each selected traffic target, wherein the indexing line being perpendicular to its associated traffic target's plane of altitude and running from the plane of altitude to a specified altitude. 5. The display system of claim 1 wherein, the display screen renders an indexing line for each selected traffic target, wherein the indexing line being perpendicular to its associated traffic target's plane of altitude and running from the plane of altitude to terrain below the traffic target. 6. The display system of claim 1 wherein, the display screen renders an indexing line for each selected traffic target, wherein the indexing line indicates the speed and trajectory of its associated traffic target. 7. The display system of claim 1 wherein, the display screen renders an indexing line for each selected traffic target, wherein the indexing line indicates the ascension and descension rates of its associated traffic target. 8. The display system of claim 1 wherein, the display system is a flight deck display system on board an aircraft. 9. The display system of claim 8 wherein, the flight deck display system is a Heads-Up Display (HUD). 10. The display system of claim 8 wherein, the icons' color and object format is based on standard Traffic Alert and Collision Avoidance System (TCAS) display icons. 11. A method for displaying conformal traffic in perspective view, the method comprising: checking real-time traffic sensor outputs, determining if detected traffic targets are within a field of view, selecting icon display size from a finite set of sizes which correspond to a finite set of distance ranges based on the distance to the traffic targets, displaying the icons on a display screen, rendering an indexing line for each traffic target running perpendicular from the traffic target's plane of altitude to terrain below the icon, each indexing line rendered in alternate colors to indicate units of altitude. 12. The method of claim 11 further comprising: checking the threat posed by each detected traffic target, selecting traffic target icon color and object format based on the threat posed by each traffic target. 13. The method of claim 12 further comprising: filtering traffic data to remove traffic that is not a travel path threat. 14.
